I was very worried that I was going to get a foul device because of the other reviews but it seems like they have been paying attention to other reviews because the phone that I got seems to be in perfect condition. Battery is at a 100%, the screen has zero scratches and everything works super smooth. I 100% recommend this seller

The iPhone arrived in excellent condition, even though I purchased the ‘Good’ option. There are no issues with the device at all — it works perfectly and looks great. I’d honestly rate the phone itself a 10/10, or even 100/10! The only minor downside was that the shipping information didn’t update until I contacted support, and it took a little while to hear back. Other than that, I’m very happy with my purchase.(and the battery is at 100%!!!)

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is Apple’s large-screen Pro flagship for 2025. Released in September 2025, it brings a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, the A19 Pro chip, and a triple 48MP Pro Fusion camera system with new pro-grade video tools—all in a durable aluminum unibody with Ceramic Shield front and back.

Key features:

Release date: September 2025 (preorders opened September 12; availability began September 19).
Display: 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED, 2868×1320 resolution at 460 ppi, ProMotion up to 120Hz, Always‑On, and up to 3000 nits peak outdoor brightness.
Processor: A19 Pro with 6‑core CPU, 6‑core GPU with Neural Accelerators, and a 16‑core Neural Engine.
Main cameras: 48MP Fusion Main (24mm), 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide (13mm, 120°), and 48MP Fusion Telephoto (100mm, 4x optical) with up to 8x optical‑quality reach and digital zoom up to 40x.
Video features: 4K up to 120 fps (Dolby Vision), ProRes (with external recording up to 4K120), ProRes RAW, Apple Log 2, genlock, and Dual Capture.

Operating system (on release): iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence features.

Who is this for?

The iPhone 17 Pro Max suits creators, mobile videographers, and professionals who want a large 6.9-inch canvas, top-tier performance, and advanced camera/video controls. If you prefer a smaller phone with the same A19 Pro chip and triple 48MP system, the iPhone 17 Pro offers a similar experience in a more compact 6.3-inch body. Gamers and power users will appreciate the 120Hz display and hardware‑accelerated ray tracing, while commuters and travelers benefit from Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and precise dual‑frequency GPS.

Pros & Cons: Pros Cons Large, bright 120Hz OLED (up to 3000 nits) ideal for editing, gaming, and media. Big and heavy form factor; less comfortable for one‑handed use. 48MP triple‑camera with 4x optical telephoto and up to 8x optical‑quality reach; flexible focal lengths. eSIM only; no physical SIM support, which may require carrier eSIM compatibility. Pro video toolkit (ProRes RAW, Log 2, genlock, Dual Capture) for advanced workflows. No expandable storage; consider cloud or external workflows if you shoot a lot of Pro content. Modern connectivity with Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, USB‑C (USB 3), and UWB for accessories and data. Advanced camera features have a learning curve; casual users may not need every pro option. Durable build with Ceramic Shield front and back; IP68 protection.
Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished iPhone 17 Pro Max is a practical, eco‑conscious way to get flagship-level features in a pre‑owned device, while extending the life of quality hardware. Every phone sold on Back Market is tested and restored by experts to meet strict performance criteria and comes with transparent grading. Learn more about our quality standards.
